Xena having a relaxed nap. It was one of those peaceful sleep she loved having in the afternoon. She believes when you sleep after bathing and eating lunch keeps the body fresh. Suddenly, she jumped as the door slammed open, and Jeanne revealed herself breathing heavily, like someone running away from thieves. A furious dagger hit her stomach, pulling in and pulling out of her continually, Xena's furious glare wasn't removing the dagger anytime soon. Her stomach churned with anger, she hates to be woken up by noises, and it gives her a banging headache. Knowing that she isn't ready to remove the dagger, Jeanne spills the beans. “I heard the king summoned the man who translated the document for me to the Palace” She shrugged. “What for?” She knitted her brows, confused, her chest rising and falling at the moment. “I don't know the details, but I heard someone else translated the document apart from you” “What!” She yelled, her mind started wandering around, thinking of the possi
The King's women were all inside the woman's hall jabbering, and the atmosphere was gladdened; it had been a long that they had this kind of environment, anything they held this gathering, it was always filled with conflict, Jealous, covetousness, and they end fighting. “It's good to have a good leader as the mother of the country, I can't remember when we had this kind of happy join together without anyone telling us she is more than us” One of the concubines called Kira said, her eyes fixed on Xena as she let out the word. She directed the word to Xena and all the concubines knew the word was directed to her, every one of them knows how pompously she behaved among them. Picking up the cup, Nneka sipped the tea in her front and dropped the cup, her lips brushed with a smile, hearing how Kira's tongue lashed Xena. She had always known that bringing Xena to the king's women's gathering was the best place to torture her, she had gathered the meeting because of her. She had plans und
Entering inside, Aurora's mouth patted in awe, it was so beautiful, and everywhere was colorful, she wondered why the king would have a beautiful mansion like this at the edge of the town. If she were to choose the most beautiful between the mansion and the palace, she would choose the mansion without thinking twice. Still, the reason the king would build this beautiful mansion in the bush bothered her. She moved around exploring the mansion until she came across a room, the door was glittering, and it was made of gold. She halted and got curious about the inside and if the outside was this beautiful. Then, she tried to unhook the door, but it proved aborted, still, she didn't give up, rather she changed her plans and used her fist on the door. She's a stubborn type and hates to accept defeat from living things. But these are nonliving things… Her heart thumped as a voice came behind her, without looking back, she knew the owner of the voice. The voice always melted her soul an
Xena recrudesced at the king's chamber for the fifth time. As usual, she met a guard at the entrance, but this time around she met Evans with the other guard that had been preventing her from going into the king's chamber. “Good evening, your High….” “Where have you been to, that you keep this thing here?, telling me gibberish since” Xena cuts in angrily before Evans could finish with his greetings. Still, she didn't allow Evans to reply. Rather, she continued on her track, wanting to push her way into the king's chamber, but a long barricade settled before she could place her hand on the door. “How dare you block my way again?” Xena raised her hand and struck the other guard's cheeks. She winced in pain as her hand landed on the guard's face, she felt like she hit an iron. She raised her head and peeked at the guard, wondering if his body was made of iron, she hissed and blew air on her palm, softening the hit ensuing from her hand palms. “Are you made of iron?” She snapped at t
For the first time, he wondered why the fragile woman here was able to give him the peace he desired.He moved closer to her, his hand moved to her masked, wanting to see the beauty beneath the mask.Suddenly, the promise he made with her resonated in his ears, then he withdrew his hand and moved to her hair, stroking it gently.He had agreed with the masked girl who wanted to keep her face away from him since she's afraid of having an eyes contact with him.Someday, he hopes she will learn to be comfortable around him. He wanted her to be free to him, even if every one is fearful of him, there is someone he wanted to avoid being scared of him.On different occasion, the king had wanting Evans to call Shastina for him in day break since the masked girl said her name is Shastina but he always tried to refrain from calling her. Wanting her to show herself to him.After he was done stroking her hair, he tried standing up, but Aurora grabbed his hand in her sleeping state.“Please don't l
Aurora's heartbeat skyrocketed. She knitted her brows in fear, seeing Alpha Malik's hardened gaze.“Where are you coming from?” He asked curtly. “I……” She sputtered, not knowing what to say.Just then a voice echoes“I sent her an errand” Nneka announced as she walked into their midst, interrupting the king from asking further. Rather, he swerved around and faced his queen.Aurora sighed deeply, her face lit, seeing her younger sister coming to rescue her. The acts convinced her that indeed her sister had changed, for her to come to her rescue.“And why would you open the door for a prisoner?” The king asked with gritted teeth, clenching his fist in fury. Waiting Impatiently for her response, he hoped she could justify her word. Looking at her face, the king knows the queen is lying, but he hopes she can justify her lies if she truly wants to save Aurora from his hands.He didn't know what he could do to her presently, her presence alone infuriated him, remembering how she lied an
“What did you mean?” Xena yelled as she knitted her eyes in fear. Her heart raced against her chest. “I heard the king summon the translator man into the hall again, he is in the hall right now. From the information I heard, the king is questioning him concerning the document you submitted” Jeanne explained.“Did the king know that he translated the document on my behalf?” Xena asked.“I don't think so… but I'm not sure” Jeanne replied hurriedly, feeling afraid of what the outcome will be, she wanted to avoid causing her friend problem because of her mistake.Just then, Xena sprang to her bare feet, and she swerved after her threatening gaze left Jeanne's body, giving her a warning stare as she walked toward the door.Jeanne took a deep breath, knowing that Xena was angry at her right now.“Where are you going?” She asked in a silent tone, trying not to make her angry.“Should I stay here with you and wait until the king hates me because of your silly…” Xena stopped and took a deep b
The door to the hall opened, and Jeanne walked in, feeling disoriented. She couldn’t place her hand on the reason the king summoned her, the king is hard to see. Although they both live inside the palace, even his concubine might not sight him for two months. His presence is so scarce. For the past three months, she hadn’t sighted the king, and standing close to him made her wonder if the king had found out Xena lied to him. Her heart thumped, thinking of the outcome of the king's found out. She ransacked her brains, trying to find a way out for Xena, if eventually the king find out. She wouldn’t mind getting hurt, then letting Xena lose favor with the king. “Good day… My lord” She greeted and bowed her head towards the king. Just then her face traveled to where Xena stood, hoping she would notify her of the reason she was brought in, but she didn’t look her way, rather she held a frowned expression, facing the king directly. Although Xena considered signaling her, knowing Jea
